That adventuress Is trying to break you, to run you out of your own country. Im trying to make you, to keep you from being run out The question therefore resolves itself into this: who is going to win? You are the only human being who can decide that question, and I call upon you to decide It here and now or forfeit, not only the fragments of my former love for you, but my future friendship and respect for you.

Without a moments hesitation Gilmer Butterworth Clarke took out his wallet and solemnly handed Nellie Cathcart a hundred-dolla- r bill, and Nellie took ltl When Elmer rose the following morning he remembered that if he intended to be mayor of Pilarcitos it behooved him to be up and doing. He had no time to spare. His first idea was to contract with the Pilarcitos Silver Cornet band to play at his political rallies exclusively, thus forcing his opponents to Import their music expensively from surrounding towns. The extent of his advertising and the elaborate preparations for bis campaign alarmed and Irritated his opponents, the alarm being occasioned knowledge that they by were being opposed by a young, forceful, popular man, without a blemish first-han- d ( of Agriculture.) WNU Service. It may be possible some day for the live stock producer to breed his animals in such a way as to speed up the growth of their offspring. Scientists of the United States Department of Agriculture have accomplished this with guinea pigs and believe the same principles may apply to live stock. Dr. Hugh C. McPhee, geneticist of the bureau of animal industry, and his associates observed that inbreeding and of guinea pigs exerted a marked influence on the rapidity or slowness of the offsprings growth. They are starting new researches to test these scientific principles of Inheritance on live stock, especially swine, sheep, and cattle. If the live stock breeder could influence the rate of growth of his young farm animals as has been done with guinea pigs he would have control of an important element in the cost of production. It Is generally accepted that rapid growth is economical cross-breedin- g the offspring grew faster and larger than either parent at the same age. When one parent was a lightweight and the other a heavyweight the offspring grew more nearly like the heavyweight parent, gaining especially fast in case the mother was the heavyweight. The investigators gained no advantage of growth by crossing two heavyweight families, but did improve the fertility of the offspring. The heaviest family of inbred guinea pigs outgrew all others during their first four months. Im up to my ears in He eyed her something just as hot And youre the little half angrily. devil thats stoking the fire." Nellie half rose from her chair and leaned across the table toward him. "Kiss me, booby 1" she commanded fiercely. And Elmer obeyed. Up to the day he received, from that anonymous Los Angeles source, the letters he had written his Inamorata, Elmer made no progress in the matter of mapping out his campaign for mayor. He was much too nervous, too overwhelmed with grave apprehensions, to focus his mind on this adventure which could only' end tn disaster. He spent his days fishing and his nights in gloomy meditation. Longfellow, in his Hiawatha, observes that misfortunes come not singly. The poet might, with equal truth, have written that blessings come in flocks. Suddenly came the letter from Doris, charging him with the perpetration of a newer and more despicable crime and vowing vengeance when her time should be up. The receipt of the newspaper clipping solved the mystery of the girls letter and while Elmer was rejoicing at this lnfalliable evidence of a stay of execution, and making up his mind to make the fur fly In his campaign for mayor now that fate had intervened and given him a fighting chance to win, the packet of love letters arrived. The comfort that had been his Just previous to this was the most extravagant grief in comparison with the delirious delight that descended upon him now. It was the greatest day In history. When his paroxysm of delight had in a measure abated, he proceeded to read the letters In the order of their dates. After reading the third letter he shook as with an ague, for he discovered that he had indeed asked Doris to marry him! Be essayed to read the fourth letter and groaned aloud. It was terrible. So be burned them all He was waiting outside the bank when Nellie came out at five oclock. Hop into this car and come away with me, Nellie, he ordered, or Ill kidnap you." ' Nellie hopped in, and they whirled away Into the country. Once dear of the town Elmers hand stole over and closed over Nellies. She jerked it away, but he seized her arm roughly and again possessed himself of her hand, which he retained by brute force. Still he said nothing, so Nellie maintained silence. Presently she spoke, to break an embarrassing silence. What have you been doing all day, Elmer? Ive been singing." Bet you a hundred dollars I know what youve been singing. Taken. What have I been singing? The national anthem of Siam. You lose. I dont know It. (Prepared by the United States Department growth.

"Kiss Me, Boobyl" She Commanded Fiercely. on his character and with an excellent war record. His strength in fraternal circles was well known, and of course he would get the old soldier vote in its entirety. The irritation of the enemy was born of an apprehension that if they were to oppose him successfully they would have to adopt the pace he had set. which predicated the spending of more money than they cared to think about Also, they would have to make speeches they were incapable of making with a tithe of the ease, grace and logic of their youthful opponent Their best plan lay in ancient political strategy. By mutual consent the Democratic and the Republican candidates concluded to refrain from fighting each other and concentrate their fire on GUmer. To Elmer competition was the joy He had been born with the winning spirit and he resolved to leave no stone unturned to secure his objective. However, he overlooked one stone. Nellie Cathcart called it to his attention. "I suppose, Elmer, youre going to spend a couple of thousand dollars to win an office that pays a salary of only one hundred dollars a month. I suppose so. The confounded Job is really a nuisance, but now that Im in the race Im not going to let a little money stand in the way of victory." Well, you had better form the Elmer B. Clarke Campaign committee and permit it to spend that money, she suggested. Name the committee and appoint me treasurer. You have already spent as much money as you are permitted to spend under the law ; if you spend more, you will violate the purity of the election law; if you win, your enemies will check up on you after the election. Indict you, convict you and deprive you of your hard-woof life. Three Cattle Problems on Feeding Discussed Three questions of great importance to cattle feeders are discussed in a new bulletin just issued by the Minnesota agricultural experiment station. These questions involve the grinding of shelled corn, barley and alfalfa hay for fattening cattle, the feeding of cane molasses to fattening cattle, and the value of peatland hay as roughage for cattle. Among the principal conclusions are the following: When fattening cattle are being fed a ration of shelled corn and alfalfa hay, both feeds of fair quality, and hogs are following the cattle, no worthwhile advantage is to be gained by grinding either the corn or the alfalfa or by grinding both and mixing before feeding. When a suitable ration of palatable feeds is being fed to fattening cattle, under conditions prevailing in Minnesota, the use of either small or large amounts of molasses in the ration has little effect upon the daily rate of gain and tends to lower the margin of profit over feed cost rather than to raise It. Timothy or timothy and alsike clover mixed hay grown on properly fertilized peat soil will be palatable to cattle and show a feeding value equal or superior to similar hay grown on normal upland soil Copies of the bulletin may be had free by writing the Mailing Room, University Farm St. Paul, and requesting Bulletin 274.

"Organize your finance committee, head the subscription list with a donation and open an account in Anse Moodys bank. Then send your bills to me and, as treasurer, I flfty-doll- ar will pay them. But how? Never mind how. As treasurer that will be my worry. You stick to your knitting." But where can you get the money?" Ill get it somewhere. Elmer, did you ever see a ca reconnolter a hole in a fence? He sticks his bead through and if his whiskers touch he knows he cannot get his body through, so he climbs over the fence. Well, Im going to crawl through this hole without touching my financial whiskers. (TO BIS CONTINUED.) Do not work a slow horse or mule and a fast one together match your teams for better work. If we are to make a success of live stock farming, we must grow an abundance of feed. More than 35 per cent of the pigs farrowed in the United States live less than two weeks, it Is estimated. . One of the worst troubles in castrating lambs comes from tetanus following the operation. Crops that are too coarse and woody to be eaten well when fed as roughage are readily eaten as silage. Four to six weeks before lambing it Is a good practice to begin feeding grain to ewes. Buying, like diving, should be done head first.
